I'm back from a long hiatus and reviving my old plug-ins. I was the dev who maintained GM back when it shipped as a companion to the Essentials plug-ins. I'm now releasing it as a stand-alone with updates and improvements.
- YAML and SQL support (H2, MYSQL, SQLITE, POSTGRESQL, MARIADB).
- Timed permissions, subgroups and negations
- PAPI support
- Full Tab-Complete
- Commands only visible to players with permission to use them.
- Localisation
- Many other bug fixes.
